Buket Millburn
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Chatham, NJ

Hello families! My name is Buket, I’m 27 years old and I recently completed a 2-year au pair program in the U.S., where I cared for two amazing children. Before that, I worked as an English teacher in Turkey with kids aged 2 to 12. I’m a warm, patient, and responsible person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children and helping them grow. My background in both education and childcare has helped me develop strong communication and problem-solving skills. I’m also experienced with infants — I know how to change diapers, prepare bottles and light meals, and follow nap routines. For older kids, I enjoy engaging them in creative, fun, and educational activities. I can also help with light housekeeping, laundry, and organization. In addition to childcare, I have experience as a dog sitter and am comfortable being around pets. I have strong references available from both families and host parents who can vouch for my reliability, kindness, and dedication. I look forward to meeting your family and becoming a trusted part of your child’s daily life!
